The Citizen Public House bar manager swears by punch for the holidays. Now you can too.

In our December Menu section, we spotlighted punch, the one-bowl cocktail that most bartenders opt to serve when entertaining at home (ladling rather than custom mixing? The smart move.)

Citizen Public House bar manager Joy Richard is responsible for the beaut you see above, which, since we shot it back in October, has morphed into a Scotch-spiked, Zinfandel-based version called The Scottish Program. You can order it now at Citizen, or, thanks to the recipe ahead, recreate it on your own time.

THE SCOTTISH PROGRAM

9 oz Ballentine Zinfandel

4.5 oz Famous Grouse

3 oz Carpano Antica

3 oz cinnamon syrup

4.5 oz grapefruit juice

12 dashes Bitter Truth grapefruit bitters

3 clove-studded orange slices

Combine all ingredients in a punchbowl. Add a large chunk of ice, and circulate punch over ice to chill and dilute. Garnish with orange slices studded with whole cloves.
